- A crowd of more than 12,253 at Etihad Stadium this weekend will ensure Melbourne Victory attains an average home-and-away season crowd of more than 20,000 – this would be the fourth season in a row the Victory has topped 20,000 for its average home crowd in the home-and-away season.

- A win for Adelaide United will provide at least some hope of finishing above last spot on the final Hyundai A-League ladder, which would be the first time an Adelaide club has finished at the bottom of an Australian national league ladder since 1981 (West Adelaide).
